Any News On The Next Instalment?

What a very off-topic and divisive thing to ask. That kind of discussions is best reserved for the Off-Topic forum.

Fine. I shall use the almighty power of editing to erase this horrible mistake

ON TOPIC: I'd say that the next frictional game is probably gonna have a larger number of outdoor scenes, what with their work on terrain generation. That doesn't really narrow it down much tho... could be anything from a sandbox to another amnesia-ish game to a cow farming mmo

I was just wondering what it is for, don't remember it having a use. Just suggesting there could be more items with different uses.

That's awesome if they are working on a terrain generator. Would be a cool step forward working on an outdoor environment, I think for the better as there will be more exploration. Plus more space means you need to be on guard more often for monsters. I still like the indoor environments, but with a bit more building variation, like caves or churches, something like that.

yeah, totally agree with you there. It would also be very beneficial for custom story creators, I think. The way you make outdoor levels in the current engine is, well, not optimal They have already finished it btw, link

From the introduction:

"Now that I have a working algorithm for terrain rendering, I wanted to try making some of it procedurally. This would not be used in order to generate levels, but instead to help artists add some extra detail and perhaps for some effects."
